There are many services available for problems that come up with the glass in autos. Phoenix Auto Glass knows that people expect their glass to protect against all the outside elements. These can include sun, rain, heat, cold and road hazards. Unfortunately, break-ins also occur.
In general, car repairs that are made by professionals require the owner to leave the car with the mechanic’s shop for a period of time. How long that period lasts depends on many factors including the workload of the shop and the availability of parts. Phoenix auto glass is able to make on the spot repairs, usually within an hour or less.
Unlike traditional auto shops, these shops are able to bring the service to the car, whatever its location. Repairs can be performed at the owner’s home, place of business or on the road. Trucks with the appropriate replacement glass can be dispatched very quickly.
Trucks can be sent by appointment, usually the same day or the following day, to the location of the car. Your car may be at your work, or at home. They will even meet you on the road if you cannot get back to home or work. The service will be done at the site. A crack or a road chip can begin to deteriorate very rapidly. Such problems weaken the surface of the glass and they tend to spread quickly. Therefore quick attention to the problem is important.
Side windows and back windows are not generally affected by road chips. They are susceptible to heat and freezing. For example, on a frozen morning one is tempted to pour warm water on auto glass to defrost it instantly. Similarly, unsuspecting owners can wash a car on a hot summer day in Phoenix and the cold hose water can cause an immediate crack!
The glass professional can determine very quickly whether or not the chip or crack can be repaired. Such a repair is done by injecting a special resin into the crack. The general rule of thumb is that if a crack is less than six to eight inches, then this resin repair will work.
In short, the sooner a professional can look at the problem, the smaller and simpler the repair will be. Replacements are always more expensive than repairs, so it is important to respond to the problem as soon as possible. Phoenix Auto Glass prides itself on its record of rapid response and professional repair as keys to success.
